So I was looking for a chair for my other desktop which is going to be my test bench for future WordPress and other tech projects. Basically, I have a second desk in my room with everything set up already except it doesn’t have a proper seat (I’m definitely not going to stand and work so I needed a chair). I checked out the prices at Staples and I was looking at minimum $115 for a budget chair… I definitely didn’t want to spend that much so I just went to Wal-Mart and picked up a $64 CAD chair that you of course have to put together yourself. That was easy. (You can find this chair through my affiliate link here which I may earn a commission from if you purchase anything).
It was very easy to put together, and after putting everything together, I sat in it and it felt pretty comfy, I just hope it supports me well in the future. The max weight for this chair is around 250 lbs. and I’ll be honest, I am a bit above that right now, but the chair didn’t break so (don’t worry) I should be fine. The current chair I’m sitting in actually came from Staples and costed about $350 and I had to put it together with my step dad, without him it would not have been possible.
Patience is a must with these chairs we buy online. They come in a box most often, though some retail companies offer services to have these chairs be put together by someone, or you can sometimes go to a brick and mortar store and buy the display models. If your lazy like me but rich (which I’m currently not), I would recommend going to a local store and picking up a display model if your not technically inclined. If all you have is a sedan, you could easily put a computer chair in your back seat if you tip it on it’s side with your passenger door open all the way open.
Aside all that, let’s get back into this chair I’m supposed to be writing about. The setup like I said before was super easy, and I love how everything is clearly labeled so you know which piece points in which ever direction. I almost screwed up while setting it all up, but I managed to fix the problem and finish setting the chair up with an allen key. I believe this chair also comes in the color white which I would of liked to have but I couldn’t find one locally in stock to buy.
I can still remember the older Wal-Mart chair I used to own when living in another apartment and it was super cheap like $40 or something and I ended up leaving it behind when I moved because I didn’t have enough space for it in my vehicle. I have to say since that chair I’m talking about that I previously owned, Mainstays has done an awesome job in making a quality chair and not just something cheap you would buy online. They actually make pretty good quality chairs now.
Anyways, I guess that is my review for now, just don’t forget to share this post on your social media and leave a comment if you also bought a chair from Wal-Mart and let me know what you think of yours.
